Japan Trip: Gourmet Spot of Fukuoka’s Night, Yatai, Food Stands, Hakata, Fukuoka02 Moopon
Fukuoka’s open air food stands (Yatai) are possibly the city’s most famous symbol. A yatai food stand can usually seat about seven or eight people and you will enjoy various foods that are generally simple and filling, in an outdoor setting. There are over 150 yatai food stands scattered across Fukuoka but the best place to find them is on the southern end of Nakasu Island. Located in the middle of the city, Nakasu Island has a long row of about 20 yatai food stands where you will feel you are just near water.
Typical dishes enjoyed at yatai are grilled chicken skewers (yakitori), hot pot (oden) and most famously Hakata Ramen, a local noodle dish featuring relatively thin ramen noodles in a pork bone based soup (tonkotsu). Various alcoholic drinks are also available, and help make the yatai a great place to get in touch with the locals, although many of the “”locals”” happen to be Japanese tourists visiting Fukuoka from other parts of Japan.
Yatai are typically open from around 6pm to around 2am, except when the weather is very bad. Many stands close one day of the week. The closure day varies from stand to stand, but is often Sunday. There can be waiting times for popular stands, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.
How to get there
Yatai are located throughout the city center, and visitors will likely come across some while walking through busy tourist areas in the evening.
To reach the row of stalls on Nakasu Island travelers can take the convenient 100 yen loop bus from Hakata Station or Tenjin Station (100 yen, departures every 5-10 minutes). The closest subway stations are Nakasu Kawabata Station and Minami Tenjin Station, which are both about a 10 minute walk away.
